Facbook has just celebrated its ninth Anniversary, which
currently has over 1 billion live active users around the world, which number
was merely a million in 2004. Over the course of nine years, there must be numbers
of Facebook pages seem to be occupied by deceased people.
Facebook has created a function allowing Facebook pages to
become memorials, called memorialized account, after they have died to deal
with this growing number of deceased users. The below is an example;
Hi Ron,
We are very sorry to hear about your loss. Per our policy
for deceased users, we have memorialized (Name)’s account. This removes certain
more sensitive information and sets privacy so that only confirmed friends can
see the profile or find (Name) in search. The Wall remains so that friends and
family can leave posts in remembrance.
Unfortunately, we cannot provide login information for the
account. This is to protect (Name)’s privacy. We apologize for any
inconvenience this may cause. Please let me know if you have any further
questions.
Thanks for contacting Facebook,
Now, you may wonder what happens to other online private
properties such as Twitter, emails, and photos and videos after you die?
Enjoy reading and learning about growing concerns about
online properties of the deceased.
